You'd probably have to persuade Microsoft to remake VFP to compile methods before properties, and to scope the #defines to properties, too. I think the code is compiled separately for properties and separately for methods. I've tried the same trick once and came up with setting the captions in the form's (or label's) .init(), using the #defined constants there.

No need for parentheses if you have a constant - though VFP puts them for variables or expressions, just to make sure they're taken by value.
